For a certain engine having an average speed of 1200 rpm, a flywheel approximated as a solid disc, is required for keeping the fluctuation of speed within 2% about the average speed. The fluctuation of kinetic energy per cycle is found to be 2 kJ. What is the least possible mass of the flywheel if its diameter is not to exceed 1 m ?

In a punching press, the requirement is to punch 40 mm diameter holes in a plate having a thickness of 15 mm. The rate at which the holes should be punched is 30 holes/min. Energy requirement is of 6 N-m per mm2 of sheared area. If the punching takes time 1/10 of a second and the speed of the flywheel varies from 160 to 140 rpm, determine the mass of the flywheel having radius of gyration of 1 m.
